Hey what's up friends!!👋🏻Today I want to show you how I made this band to collect my hair inspired by the anime series Naruto Shippuden, with only a few recycled materials I was able to make it, that's why I want you to see the process of how easily I made it with my hands, you are going to really like this ingenious idea 💡, below I show you a brief review of what the one Naruto originally uses in the series is called and a little more about the story and what it means in case you haven't seen this super cool series yet.

Hablemos un poco de la banda que lleva Naruto.

Let's talk a little about the headband that Naruto wears.

The Forehead Protector (額当て, Hitai-ate) is a band that is traditionally used by ninjas[1] as a symbol of pride and loyalty to their villages. These bands generally consist of a metal buckle that has the symbol of their village engraved on it and over it a cloth that can be of different colors, almost always blue. When you see a person with this protector, they are people who have managed to graduate from the Ninja Academy.
This tradition dates back to ancient times when the Sage of the Six Paths was still alive, where his son began to wear a band without anything inscribed on it, after the village system was created, each shinobi began to use it to be identified by the other villages. But not all people like to place it on their forehead, since many prefer to place it on their waist as a belt, in their hair, on their arms, as chokers, etc. Also, on many occasions the bands do not have the same design, since it has been seen that some people wear them as masks, cloths or hoods.

There is also the Shinobi Alliance sash, which is a sash with the word "Shinobi" on it, all ninjas have to use it in the Fourth Great Ninja War, Naruto was not seen using it, since when they were "given" them, he was training with Killer B.

Akatsuki Bands:
Akatsuki members often use their crossed-out forehead protectors as a sign of disloyalty and contempt towards their villages of origin, so they broke all their ties, although Pain has his band torn, he is not a renegade from Amegakure.

Trivia:

• Kabuto is the only ninja to have used all 5 ninja bands from the 5 major nations (and several minor ones), although it is not known which nation he actually belongs to, due to the fact that he grew up in an orphanage.

• Koro-sensei, from the manga Ansatsu Kyoshitsu, appears using the Konoha ninja band in one of the episodes of the series.

Steps to follow:

Paso 01

Step 01

Let's start by cutting a strip of fabric approximately the circumference of our head, then I'll start sewing the edges of it on both sides.

Paso 02

Step 02

Then we proceed to sew and reinforce the ends of each band with a bag strap. I sewed it with a straight stitch and went on to sew the magic closure, one above and one below.

Paso 03

Step 03

Then I went on to cut the sides of the bottle and make a small rectangle where I will draw the design, then I go on to make the design of the Naruto band on a paper and with the help of the needle I will mark it on the bottom side and on the top side I will mark it again so that the design looks like it is engraved, it is also important to leave the piece about 1 cm of edge on each side to be able to fold it.

Paso 04

Step 04

We then finish by putting some thin foam in the center of my can and proceed to bend it, adjusting it very well. I also leave some tabs so that I can insert them into some holes that I made in the fabric to hold it. At the end, I added a little silicone between the aluminum sheet and the fabric to finish gluing it well and that's it.
